Incorrect.

Reminds me of a time a friend of mine were having a conversation in a restaurant about fixing xyz truck, selling xyz, etc. Some young 20 something woman made it a point to interject and say 'cars depreciate and aren't an investment'. Or something of that nature.

Anything can be an investment.

It's one of those stupid rules of thumb ignorant people who want to sound smart say.

There's way more nuance to it than that.

If I had a time machine I could make billions just buying, storing, and selling cars. Sounds like an investment to me.

If I had a time machine, we're going back to Y2K and buying dom tube (and shit, any other tube) with half my yearly salary for a while and we're stacking it in the barn. In fact, my 1st house is gonna be a single wide instead of a house because when I sell all that tube 20 yrs later I'm gonna have enough cash on hand to build my little 80'x80' shop house mansion.

Oh, and maybe mine some bitcoin along the way.

You ever try a van?

They wind up with a fuckton of room to move the seat back when they put that little rear wall at the end of the cab.
 
Imagine what would have happened going back to 2006ish on the PBB, ORC or even the old Toyota 4x4 mailing list and making a WTB post with all the information you have now……………………

u haul vans are even worse than a RC- I need seat recline angle sufficient for my left shoulder to be in line with the B pillar to exist comfortable. .

the 16 passenger vans i drove on college club sports teams were fine because i could get that recline right but after about 3 hrs of not being able to straighten your right knee a break was welcomed.

Was it a Ford or a Chevy?
Hotel I used to work for had both in the 2004/2005ish 15 passenger variants.
The Chevy had a block for the power windows and door locks that stuck out three to four inches right where my left knee wanted to be and the center console stuck out where my right knee wanted to be, so I couldn't get comfortable driving it.
The Fords had a few more inches on each side.
